I AM NOT _____________!
How would you fill in the blank?
Oh how easy it is to tell yourself
"WHO I AM NOT",
as the list would go on and on.
But then when you look up
JESUS tells you
"I AM"!
Therefore ,
YOU ARE NOT who you believe yourself to be because
I AM HE~
THE ONE WHO WAS from the very beginning (John 4:26; 1:1).
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE~
THE ONE WHO fully satisfies all our hungers and thirsts (John 6:35; Philippians 4:19).
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD~
THE ONE WHO illuminates the darkest of dark with HIS Truth
(John 9:5).
I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP~
THE ONE WHO welcomes whoever walks through,
to save, to give abundant life (John 10:7; 10).
I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD~
THE ONE WHO knows your name and WHO gave up HIS life for you (John 10:11; 4-15).
I AM THE SON OF GOD~
THE ONE WHO makes you HIS Child (John 10:36; 1:12-13).
I AM THE RESURRECTION & THE LIFE~
THE ONE WHO raises you from your fallen state by giving you
HIS life (John 11:25; 1 John 5:11-12).
I AM THE WAY & THE TRUTH & THE LIFE~
THE ONE WHO you follow because HE knows the way you should take,
that is paved with the TRUTHT that breathes life into your breathless body (John 14:6).
I AM THE TRUE VINE~
THE ONE WHO we abide in so that we bear HIS fruit (John 15:1; 15:4).
I AM THE APLPHA & THE OMEGA~
THE ONE
WHO WAS
WHO IS
&
WHO IS TO COME
(Revelations 1:8).
"When I saw HIM, I fell at HIS feet like a dead man.
And HE placed HIS right hand on me, saying,
'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last'
(Revelations 1:17).
Therefore,
how can you ever say that
"I AM NOT"?
Because if
JESUS IS what "YOU ARE NOT"
then you are all that HE says you are.
So I ask you again,
how would you now fill in
I AM NOT _____________!
Cross out the word NOT because
JESUS
is ALL that you are not.
So let’s
FAST from the weight of
"I AM NOT"
by
SURRENDERING ALL of your
I AM NOTS
to the
GREAT I AM
who
fills in ALL your blank spaces and places
with
HIMSELF,
because
HE IS your
"ALL IN ALL"
(listen to the song below)
